Pad Condition
1. Follow the local building codes to
identify the frost line and determine
the required depth of the concrete pad.
HySecurity recommends a minimum
16-inch depth with a minimum 2-inch
extension above ground level. Refer to
Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3.
2. Before pouring the pad, consider
conduit placement so it fits within the
confines of the 6.9 x 12-inch cutout in
the SlideSmart base as shown in
Figure 1-2. Run separate conduits for:
• high voltage wiring (115-230V
supply power) including
equipment ground
• low voltage wiring (12V and 24V
accessory power)
• vehicle loop control wiring
• master/slave connections
•earth ground (NEC/NFPA)
3. Extend conduit height 2-inches (5cm) above the pad (4-inches (9cm) above ground level). Make sure the
concrete forms are square with the gate and the pad is level. The operator footprint, with covers, is
approximately an 18-inch square (4.7cm). See Figure 1-2 for the minimum pad dimensions.
